I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how many couples quietly stop having fun together—not because they don’t care, but because life gets heavy and serious and… well, slowly you start feeling more like you’re running a household than living inside a relationship.

You’re managing schedules.
Paying bills.
Getting through the week.

And one day you look up and realize…
the lightness is gone.

You can’t remember the last time you laughed together.
Or were silly on purpose.
Or even felt playful inside your own body.

And if I’m honest, I know this feeling well.
Jeff and I lived there for a season—two reserved people doing life side by side, with that quiet spark buried somewhere under responsibility and exhaustion.

So this week on the podcast, I’m talking about something that feels tender and hopeful:

How to bring fun back into your marriage—

even if it’s been years,
even if it feels awkward,
even if your spouse is more stoic than spontaneous.

We explore why fun disappears, why it feels vulnerable to bring it back, and the tiniest little ways to reintroduce lightness without it feeling forced or fake.
(And yes… I share what my own awkward journey into playfulness has looked like.)

If your marriage has felt serious for far too long…
or if you’ve been craving just a little more joy…
this one’s for you.
